  • MiniMod Modular Buoy by DeepWater Buoyancy

    MiniMod™ Small Modular Buoy

    MiniMod™ small modular buoys are designed for lighter applications. Still rated to depths as great as 6000 meters, the standard 7-module buoy can provide up to 330 kg of buoyancy. Made from high-strength DeepTec® solid syntactic foam that is finished with an abrasion-resistant, polyurethane elastomer coating, these buoys can stand up to rough handling on-deck and in the water. The syntactic foam modules are held together and handled by use of synthetic straps, as opposed to metal hardware for corrosion resistance, ease of handling, and no loss of buoyancy.

  • Mooring Line Cable Fairing

    Under certain flow conditions, taut mooring lines can vibrate or “strum”. The strumming is caused by vortices that result from the water passing over the line diameter. Strumming not only creates cable fatigue, it can have a detrimental effect on instruments in the mooring string. Our cable fairings reduce strumming by eliminating this vortex action. The result is a reduction in both strumming and drag.
